Although, Olympiacos have nothing to play, so hopefully they come into this game not really giving a **** about it.
If Rosiky is fit enough to start then I'd imagine he would have been at the 'head of the triangle' where Santi usually plays, and Arshavin would have been one of the front 3. Can't believe Squillaci is back in, I thought we'd seen the last of them days!
Not expecting a win tomorrow, so not fussed if we lose. A draw would be nice, but with the team we've taken, it would be highly unlikely.
Only hope I have is that, Olympiacos seeing as they have literally nothing to play for, might not really turn up and we can somehow get the win.
Nope, thanks to Montpellier being utterly ****, they already have third place and therefore Europa League football, secured.
At last! For the first time this season we are having our Champions League game covered live by ITV. I look forward to the wonderfully insightful commentatry that Clive Tyldesley will offer up. The cliche-free prosaic descriptions of the action he weaves are incomparable to the fare served up by any other commentator and his determination to avoid unresearched, easy, tabloid-like stories is to be applauded. I cant wait for Tyldeseley's first brilliant intertwining of the news of the new royal baby and the 'crisis' at Arsenal. Add to that the remarkable, experienced and informative analysis from Andy Townsend. If that was not enough to whet the appetite, the whole thing will be strung together by Adrian Chiles -the paragon of deep and searching questions to the studio panellists, who will no doubt include that centre-of-the-party character Roy Keane. I am getting the beers in for this one. Something tells me I will need them.
so the only game we have on itv is the one that doesnt matter, and one that will probably be quite dull.
Gnabry isn't even in the squad, strange, injury maybe? I know what happened at reading but i'd really much prefer to watch the young players all start rather than the 1st team rejects. At least the young players will be hungry wheres the likes of squillaci arshavin chamakh etc couldn't care less and will (hopefully) be off in january. And yes there still top place to play for and maybe people will see that if we draw barca again.
Injury, a short one though. Heard he should be back for Bradford. Top is still to play for but in all honestly, Montpelier have no chance against Schalke
Tonight, Montpelier will probably being playing their last game in the CL for a while, so let's hope they try and go out with a bang and we can do the job in Greece.
